And all was back to NFN (Normal For Nellers) this morning so 3 x 7 minutes @ r26/ 3:30 rests banged out. Felt reasonably good so I feel like there's definite progress over the last couple of weeks.

Nice work as ever, Nellers.

For me this afternoon, an easy 10,000 at UT2. Might as well crack on while a) the heel issue is holding back the running and b) the weather's foul and I don't fancy a run anyway in the teeth of a gale-force northerly.

3 days into October and no sign of Mousey yet on the distance table ... I hope all is okay.

He's just slow uploading his metres Muttley. He's been on the Murph Challenge thread today agreeing to lunacy.

Ah, so he's going to suddenly appear out of nowhere at the top of the chart. I might as well enjoy my current 2nd position then!

Looks like it Muttley. I've had a no row day today, though, so anything could happen.

I've just set up my new concept2 rower 😊. I doubt I will be doing the kind of serious rowing you guys and gals are doing though 😯 Also I am used to doing short stuff at my gym on it. I may give some longer distances a try though I'll be very slow.

Any technique tips. I do feet flat push with legs then just near the end of the leg push pull the arms. I don't use it very often now as our gym are focusing on ski erg and echo bikes hence why I bought one.

Heels down and don't let the shins go past vertical. The sequence you want is legs-back-arms, arms-back-legs. Don't lean back too far at the end of the stroke.

You can't go wrong with a bit of Shane Farmer.

You're very welcome EB. If you look at the Dark Horse YouTube channel there's lots of row along sessions with good technique tips and drills. You really can't go wrong with him.
